Karthik Nayak b32c23be3b refs: move object parsing to the generic layer
Regular reference updates made via reference transactions validate that
the provided object ID exists in the object database, which is done by
calling 'parse_object()'. This check is done independently by the
backends which leads to duplicated logic.

Let's move this to the generic layer, ensuring the backends only have to
care about reference storage and not about validation of the object IDs.
With this also remove the 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_INVALID_NEW_VALUE'
error type as its no longer used.

Since we don't iterate over individual references in
`ref_transaction_prepare()`, we add this check to
`ref_transaction_update()`. This means that the validation is done as
soon as an update is queued, without needing to prepare the
transaction. It can be argued that this is more ideal, since this
validation has no dependency on the reference transaction being
prepared.

It must be noted that the change in behavior means that this error
cannot be ignored even with usage of batched updates, since this happens
when the update is being added to the transaction. But since the caller
gets specific error codes, they can either abort the transaction or
continue adding other updates to the transaction.

Modify 'builtin/receive-pack.c' to now capture the error type so that
the error propagated to the client stays the same. Also remove two of
the tests which validates batch-updates with invalid new_oid.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.adoc to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.adoc (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
